DEXTER PETTENGILL, OF DELHI, NEV YORK.

IMPROVED SLIDE FOR BREAST-STRAPS FOR HARNESS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent- No. 37,006, dated November 25, 1862.

To @ZZ wwm t may concern.-

Be it known that I, DEXTER PETTENGILL, of Delhi, in the county of Delaware and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Slide for the Breast-Straps of Harness.

The nature of my invention consists of a slide for the breast-straps of harness, Inade of metal or any other suitable material, and is intended to prevent the wearing of the breaststrap by the neck-yoke (or pole-chain) ring, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the sarne, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a perspective view; Fig. 2, a transverse section of the body, and Fig. 3 a perspective view of the slide as applied to the breast-strap.

The body of the slide is made of different sizes, according to the kind of harness it is intended to apply it on, and has a slight iiange (marked F E, Figs. l and 2) on each side for the better protection o f the edges ofthe breaststrap, and also the better to retain it in its place. The slide is also furnished with three or more loops, (markedLL L, Fig. 1,) through which the breast-strap passes, and which retain the slide on the breast-straps, as shown in Fig. 3.

I do not confine myself to the precise forni ofthe slide as shown by the drawings, nor to the number of loops upon it.

X/Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The slide and its application to the breaststraps of harness in the manner and for the purposes set forth in the above specification.

DEXTER PETTENGILL.
